I'm Having Hard Time

These last two days have been bipolar hell for me. I just want to be alone so I can keep my it,,my sanity myself and not affect my 3 kids. I'm single. No adult to defer to. I've been having to take two chill pills three or four times a day. That's double my official dosage. But you assess your risks and you do what you have to do. We lowered my 1200 mg dosage of Lithium to 900mg. That was a bad move. We've moved it up another 150mg. Not much difference.

See, I'm having muscle twitches and jumps and so on. Every  muscle is in play plus my freaking tongue...when I'm talking. My tongue jerks with my jaw and it's like being hit by a base ball hat when it's really bad. I don't think the lithium has anything to do with my twitches.

I'm seeing a neurologist at the UW Medical Center in like a month. We figure if the ticks go away I can just cancel the appointment. If not, I'll still go to the clinic. Got my bases covered.

God I love my kids.

even if the twitches do stop still keep the appointment it may not be soeasy to get in the next time you want to go and if there is nothing wrong then good and if there is then they can help you, but don't cancel just go anyways
